Description of πŸƒ Performance at its Best: Discover the Brooks Men's Launch 8 Neutral Running Shoe

Imported. Rubber sole. THIS MEN'S SHOE IS FOR: The Launch 8 is for neutral runners who want a lightweight shoe with a fast, fun, ride. Durable enough for training but light enough for race day, the Launch 8 is designed to keep up on every run. Predecessor: Brooks Launch 7. NEUTRAL SUPPORT: Streamlined yet cushioned, with neutral support, this shoe hits the sweet spot between a race flat and a standard trainer. LIGHTWEIGHT CUSHIONING: Brooks lightest BioMoGo DNA midsole cushioning provides a fast ride without any extra weight - perfect for days when you are working on your speed. BREATHABLE AND SLEEK FIT: The new one-piece mesh upper creates a closer-to-foot-feel that is more breathable than ever before. QUICK TRANSITIONS: The Midfoot Transition Zone is shaped to go from heel to toe quickly. Newly added blown rubber in the forefoot propels you forward for a faster ride.

really cheap to walk on

overall the shoe looks cheap no matter what i did, my heel would slide up and down in the shoe when i tried it on, the construction of the shoe has no real support. I'm surprised Brooks is putting their name on this shoe. I have several pairs of Bachgeister, but chose them because of the price. Needless to say they have been returned

Pros
  • great variety
Cons
  • quality

For Hyper Pronator: Running

I bought these shoes for my husband after his regular walking shoes were discontinued. He overpronates and needs running shoes that prevent him from rolling over. He absolutely loves it. Says they're better than the new scales he wore before. Thinks he drives faster. The shoe is much lighter but has great support. He wears a 10.5 and they fit perfectly. 5 stars for Brooks and 5 stars for Revain!

Pros
  • Annual Trial
Cons
  • Frequency

Looks great and my grandson got rid of the pain in his legs!

My grandson is tall for his age and his legs start to hurt when he first goes to school and does physical education. When he walked or ran well, his legs hurt. My daughter took it to a shoe store and they recommended Brooks shoes. The first pair was great, no pain in the legs. He is in the second pair. So we will definitely continue to buy Brooks Men's Launch 8 Neutral shoes for my grandson. They are a bit more expensive but worth it!

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

A kind of bathing in a shoe (sock)

Probably had 5 previous models from Launching Streams. This one, which I bought in black, is significantly wider! Still considering returning it but want to save myself the hassle and maybe just add another insert to fill the space. Triple has verified that the sneaker label and box state that the width is D. Looks like 2E though

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Modernity

Doesn't feel like a full shoe: Feels like I'm wearing flip flops

Light and comfortable but they feel like sandals or water shoes. Zero stability for outdoor training and running. I don't mean pronation or anything, the upper just doesn't feel like the insole of the shoe. My foot keeps moving in the shoe no matter how I tighten the laces.

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Pretty much everything is ok
